Two Bios Faculty Members Awarded 2019 Silver Circle Award For Teaching

“Since 1966, the Silver Circle Award has been presented to some of UIC’s best teachers. Winners, who are honored at their college commencements, receive $500 and their names join a long list of distinguished colleagues. But what makes the award especially meaningful is its selection committee: the graduating seniors” – UIC Today

Dr. Robert Paul Malchow 

Associate Professor of Biological Sciences
Silver Circles: 3
Years at UIC: 32

What is your advice to graduating students?
“Use what you have learned at UIC and elsewhere to brighten people’s lives, in whatever career you have chosen. Try to specifically plan a career and a life that betters the lives of those around you while meeting your own goals and desires. Finally, keep in mind that random acts of kindness go far farther than you might think — spread them around often”

What does it mean to win this award from the graduating seniors?
